New York-based rapper and comedian Rob Tanchum's full-length album Disturbed, Depressed, Inadequate will be released on November 14th both digitally on Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify, etc. and on cassette tape by SBI Press' 'Tape of the Month' club, which will contain 35 minutes of bonus material including outtakes and a 10 minute improv scene.
Disturbed, Depressed, Inadequate is a comedic concept rap album about Rob Tanchum, a depressed loser from Earth, who is abducted by alien scientists (Dan Harmon and Jeff Davis) who probe his unconscious mind and extract a concept album of self-loathing, id-driven rap songs. Featured artists include Dan Harmon, Jeff Davis, Iman Europe, Sinsay, and Kaleigh Young. The album was written by Rob Tanchum, with music composed and produced by Superfool (Kevin Hall & Shawheen Keyani). The title of the album comes from one of George Constanza's outbursts on Seinfeld, after he is coldly rejected by yet another date.
Rob Tanchum is a Harmontown fan favorite and as a result, was given the opportunity to make a record for Starburns Audio's newest venture: SBI Press, as well as collaborate with Dan Harmon on a few songs for the album. The single "IDFSG (I Don't Feel So Good)" was soft-released in June 2018 and has already created buzz in the Harmontown universe and beyond.
